SNL has not commented on the matter to date, but a person familiar with the situation told Deadline that SNL writer Katie Rich is suspended indefinitely after tweeting the day of Trump’s inauguration: “Barron will be this country’s first homeschool shooter.”

Rich’s tweet came from her personal handle, not from Saturday Night Live‘s or NBC.

The White House Office of the Press Secretary said in a statement after the incident: “It is a longstanding tradition that the children of Presidents are afforded the opportunity to grow up outside of the political spotlight.

I deeply regret my actions & offensive words. It was inexcusable & I’m so sorry.”
